Well, right now we can use troff to convert a man page into a preformatted 
text file, and then gzip it and drop it in a directory for a simple "zcat | 
less" style man to display.  This means you have to have troff and the man 
macros package available as a build tool to do the conversion, but not in the 
final image.
